Rover Corporation would like to transfer excess cash to its sole shareholder, Aleshia, who is also an employee. Aleshia is in the 24% tax bracket, and Rover is subject to a 21% rate. Because Aleshia's contribution to the business is substantial, Rover believes that a $135,600 bonus in the current year is reasonable compensation and should be deductible by the corporation.
